Luis Suárez has signed a new contract with Inter Miami, ensuring he will remain at the club through the 2026 Major League Soccer season.
The MLS Cup champions confirmed the extension, keeping the experienced Uruguayan striker at the club beyond the current campaign. Suárez, who will turn 39 in January, enjoyed a productive 2025 season, recording 17 goals and 17 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions.
Since joining Inter Miami ahead of the 2024 season, Suárez has played a central role in the club’s rise, contributing 42 goals and 29 assists in 87 matches. His impact has been felt both on and off the pitch, particularly through his long-standing partnership with Lionel Messi.
Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas had previously stated the club’s desire to retain Suárez, noting that the decision would rest with the player. Mas emphasized that the striker had earned the right to determine how and when his time at the club would conclude.
Miami recently crowned a successful campaign by winning the MLS Cup earlier this month, defeating Vancouver Whitecaps 3–1 in the final. Although neither Suárez nor Messi scored in the decisive match, both players were instrumental throughout the season.
Suárez and Messi are now the remaining members of Inter Miami’s celebrated group of former Barcelona stars, following the retirements of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba after the 2025 playoffs. Their chemistry continued to drive the team’s success.
Messi was also named MLS MVP for the second consecutive year, becoming the first player in league history to win the award back-to-back.
Co-owned by David Beckham, Inter Miami are preparing to open their new stadium, Miami Freedom Park, on April 4 against Austin FC. The club’s 2026 season will begin with five straight away fixtures before their first home game at the new venue.
With Suárez extending his stay and Messi still leading the side, Inter Miami appear well-positioned to build on recent achievements and remain a major force in Major League Soccer.
